Thanks so much to all who entered the haiku contest for Jon Mueller’s insane new solo record, Tongues. The haiku magnificence by winner Taylor McKenzie is below.
Partly parting waves
Thunder crashes; speaking tongues
Stone ‘n’ brush flail to say
The rest of yous should head over to Rhythmplex stat and snag a copy of the record before it disappears.
Jon Mueller’s music is un-fucking-real. Most recently, he headed up the Death Blues project, which celebrated Life and the present. He’s worked with all your favorites (James Plotkin, Asmus Tietchens, Z’ev, Duane Pitre, Rhys Chatham…) and was/is in Volcano Choir, Collections Of Colonies Of Bees, and Pele. And he’s just the coolest fucking drummer. His newest self-released record (well, released by Rhythmplex) takes his hypno-drumming to the next level, with 2 side-long pieces of ritualistic Truth seeking transcendence that combines densely layered droning vocal chants and relentless percussion, music that can’t possibly be contained by time or place, let alone genre, it’s the sound of everyone you’ve ever met gathering together in an attempt to understand their existence.
So, this is another haiku contest. You write a haiku inspired by the record, drumming, speaking in tongues, truth, transcendence, life, etc, and you send it to drummingintongues |at| antigravitybunny |dot| com by the end of the weekend (Sunday, May 22). The winning haiku will be revealed next week.
Watch a video here, buy it here, and catch up on Mueller’s back catalog here.
Maaaaan Nested is unbelievably good. There’s 3 free* records on Bandcamp that you need in your life.

Some amazing haikus by you guys, seriously, so many good ones, thanks for all who entered the contest. Only one winner, though, obviously, and the prize goes to Clem McCulloch. Check out this beauty:
through this thick blanket
a vast shadow comes to light,
the void manifests
And the rest of yall should go buy a copy from the fresh-faced Whited Sepulchre Records, or Braeyden Jae himself, because Fog Mirror fuckin rules.
Holy shit this episode is STAAACKED. New stuff by The Gerogerigegege, Pita, Nisennenmondai, and William Cody Watson! And I just discovered Robert Curgenven, who is fucking amazing.
